For Books and the People Who Love Them

Wondrous Words Wednesday

Happy Wednesday — it’s been a long time since I had some words to share with you! You know how this works – share a few words from your current book that you had to look up, then head over to Bermuda Onion’s Weblog to learn some new ones. This week, my words are from Robert Plant: A Life. The book is really terrific so far, and it is definitely bringing back some memories…or maybe fantasies is a more accurate word. Check back next week for my review.

1. Winklepicker: a shoe with a long pointed toe, popular in the 1950s.

“I was just mincing about with my Dawes Double Blue bike, with my winklepicker shoes in the saddlebag, listening to all this stuff.”
